Metallica will release their next studio album in September, Lars Ulrich has told BBC 6 Music.

The drummer, who previously informed Revolver Magazine that the follow-up to 2003’s St. Anger sounded “dynamic”, “different” and “nutty”, said the band had almost finished the new record.

"We're just finishing up a record, we've got six weeks left and it should be out in September, that's the idea right now," Ulrich said.

Rick Rubin has handled production duties on the as-yet-untitled longplayer.

How about 'Radiohead to do a Metallica?'

practically invent a music genre only to end up enviously watching bands half their age playing it better, record new album in an alleyway using discarded bins for drums and then sob about it all in counselling sessions?
